Please include an explanation of how your research reflects the training grant's goals. This may be included in the Abstract, Background and Significance, or a paragraph at the end of the proposal. The scope of the submitted proposal should include a two-year research plan unless the applicant specifically requests only one year of funding.

Mentor Summary Form. This form should be filled out by your mentor. In past years we have asked for more traditional letters. However, all the mentor letters said their student was one of the best they have ever seen and they should be funded, which was not helpful to the review committee. It is our hope, the mentor summary form will be a more informative evaluation of each trainee. Since the success and future funding of the training grant depends on the quality of the students it supports, the review committee would appreciate an honest and realistic summary of the student.
